I will continue to refer to our president-elect that way, as saying President Trump out loud makes me wince.  As I often called President Obama &#8220;Barry&#8221; when I was annoyed with him, Trump will remain DtheT.  He deserves no more respect than that &#8211; unless he changes, which isn&#8217;t going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I calculated that I will have 1,610 opportunities to write on this topic, assuming a once per day blog post.  I intend to use every single one of them, so gird your loins, it&#8217;s comin&#8217; atcha.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the topic at hand: core of decency.  President Obama&#8217;s and Secretary Clinton&#8217;s concession speeches were dignified and thoughtful.  They both ask us to give DtheT a chance.  Both President Obama and Secretary Clinton have a core of decency, no matter what.  DtheT has no moral center.  He is an opportunist of the worst stripe.  He has taken advantage of people&#8217;s fears &#8211; inchoate tho&#8217; they may be &#8211; and used that fear against the country.  We will give him a chance, but we&#8217;ll be watching him very closely.  There won&#8217;t be a honeymoon period, of that I am sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second day and the second post on the topic of the election and DtheT.
